Cultural policy

"Hitherto, cultural theory and empirical work on culture have outstripped cultural policy. This book rectifies the peculiar imbalance in the field of Cultural Studies by offering the first comprehensive and international work on cultural policy. Fully alive to the challenges posed by globalization it addresses a wide range of central topics including cinema, television, museums, international organizations, art, public history, drama and performance art. The result is a landmark work in the emerging field of cultural policy. Rigorous in its field of survey and astute in its critical commentary it enables students to gain a global grounding in cultural policy. It will be essential reading for students of cultural studies and cultural sociology." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0658/2002102290-d.html.Read more...

Publisher Synopsis

'This is an accessibly written and compellingly argued book, not shy of its clear polemical and political intentions. It is an ambitious project, extensively researched and wide-ranging in its coverage. With its effective blend of political economy and cultural studies, detailed analysis of specific institutions and practices, and exploration of the contradictory positions of the citizen and the consumer, it is likely to be read widely - and fiercely argued with - by cultural policy professionals and others involved in the field' - Roger Bromley, Professor of International Cultural Studies, Nottingham Trent UniversityRead more...
